Get all assets from RefTab API (Format RefTab API Response)

Question

I'm trying to use RefTab's API to pull custom reports, but I'm not sure how to pull the data I want from the response.

I think it might have something to do with unzipping a gunzip?

I've tried accessing res.headers and res.body, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

I can't seem to find anything anywhere on RefTab specifically. I'm not experienced in using REST APIs so I don't know if this is specific to RefTab

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My index.js file:

const btoa = require('btoa');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const CryptoJS = require('crypto-js');

//CryptoJS is needed for the md5 and HmacSHA256 methods
function signRequest(request) {
  const publicKey = 'PUBLIC_KEY_HERE';
  const secretKey = 'SECRET_KEY_HERE';
  const body = request.body;
  const method = request.method;
  const url = request.url;
  const now = new Date().toUTCString();
  let contentMD5 = '';
  let contentType = '';
  if (body !== undefined) {
    contentMD5 = CryptoJS.md5(body).toString();
    contentType = 'application/json';
  }
  let signatureToSign = method + '\n' +
    contentMD5 + '\n' +
    contentType + '\n' +
    now + '\n' +
    url;
  signatureToSign = unescape(encodeURIComponent(signatureToSign));
  const token = btoa(CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(signatureToSign, secretKey));
  const signature = 'RT ' + publicKey + ':' + token;
  request.headers = {};
  request.headers.Authorization = signature;
  request.headers['x-rt-date'] = now;
  return request;
}

//expected input object
const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'https://www.reftab.com/api/assets'
};
fetch('https://www.reftab.com/api/assets', signRequest(options))
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  });

The response:

I changed:

fetch('https://www.reftab.com/api/assets', signRequest(options))
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  });

To:

fetch('https://www.reftab.com/api/assets', signRequest(options))
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json))

And it worked!
